tell me if this is helpful information to you,
these were taken right at dusk, 745pm in southern california.
35mm f/1.4 lens
aperture, 1.8
shutter speed, 125
iso, 400

in editing them i left the white balance as it was, just made them brighter with curves. that's it!  the color is the way it is because the light is so cool (blue) at dusk.  i'm a warm white-balance person........ i'm usually adding yellow and red to my images.  but i like these this way.  cold but somehow warm.

so there you go,
cosmic galaxy flowers from a little walk i took on mothers day.
those yellow buds seem like they're peeking out of the snow.
or coming out of a fog abyss.
but its just these weird white leaves. 
i want some.

hope your day is lovely,

Lovely. You should maybe consider making these into prints. And selling them. For dining room walls.
